Old days & steamers vs newer stuff?

This is the results I got using my streamer with ARC:

What’s your budget, what do you have now, and what improvements are you looking for?

I love 'steamer', off you go to big vintage tube amp!!!

@kota1 I have no idea what dnla or UPNP is. I had a helluva time getting my node 2i up and running. If the dts play is just an app to control the streamer, I could handle that, but I'm not computer/ IT savy at all. Nevertheless, $200 for room correction seems like a bargain of an upgrade, so maybe I'll see if I can get help here or though Martin Logan to set it up. I never use the Bluetooth feature,  so I won't miss that. Maybe I can sell my Node or set it up in another room. I'm not sure how these "roon endpoint" things work, but I don't have roon, so I doubt I could use the node 2i in conjuction with the unison, so I could sell it or make a second system. I'm also am using an old Parasound Zdac that may be lower quality than the dac in the unison (your thoughts on which I should use?) I'm tempted to buy this and possibly improve my sound for only $200. Wish me luck and give me your thoughts.

Current integrated is a Yamaha A-S500 btw. Acoustic Energy Aegis 3 speakers.

@soix I'm just trying to gradually increase my sound quality by upgrading the weakest link, or item that would make the biggest bang for buck improvement. My budget is "poor". Which probably quantifies as $400 per month to spend on stereo.

I don't know how long they're on sale for, But now I need you to decide between the unison and the forte. I'm leaning towards the unison simply because my Yamaha A-S500 integrated is a class AB which may yield a little more grunt. And watts than the class d amp in the forte.
